MONTREAL - Worn Journal Issue 6 Release, Slow Dance Prom

To celebrate the release of their 6th issue, Montreal's Worn Fashion Journal threw a Slow Dance Prom. And what a fitting, nostalgic idea they had to set up a photobooth. The pictures turned out beautifully! Check out their flickr album. Although I couldn't attend the event myself, it was an important event for The Commodified: a collection of photos from my archives appear on the back cover this new issue. If you are in and around Montreal, Toronto, or New York, here is a list of locations where you can find a copy!

MONTREAL - "Bones of Paris" Art Opening, Atelier Woodenapples

This is a photo of Vancouver artist, Gabrielle Parizeau, sporting a revolutionary-inspired outfit. Her art is currently being shown at Atelier Woodenapples on Parc Ave, Montréal. I realise the link isn't active yet, but the store-gallery-workshop's website should be up and running by the end of the month. I thought you might want to bookmark it now for later!

there is something a bit clinical about her look. I don't know if its the bike lock around her neck that looks like a stethoscope, or if its the way she's showing us her tattoo. either way, its kinda sexy.

ps. sorry for jumping in front of your bike. i didn't mean to startle you.

Today I met up with Izzy and David-Alexandre of Montreal's street style blog, MTL Street. They showed me to the "friperies" (thrift stores) in the Hochelaga/Pie-IX area, and advised me of other great "quartiers" (neighbourhoods) to visit.... meaning, more great pictures to come over the next 3 weeks.

approaching people in french is scary and broken - but this guy was cool about it. so cool that everyone's looking on and saying "damn he's fine"... or something similar in french.

MONTREAL - Cote des Neiges

This is the first of many posts that will come from the beautiful city of Montreal. I'll be here for the next five weeks, and hope to bring you many great french-canadian fashions. Thank you for your patience over the last week, as I safely traveled from Singapore to here, stopping briefly in Vancouver to recover from jet lag.
